Re: ME1-ME2 Import Charakter Bonus Ability
Not sure if it was a ME1 -> ME2. It's been a while, but I think that was ME2 -> ME3 where you can pick bonus abilities to start with. ME1 had unlockable bonuses for your next playthrough I believe.
As to hitting max level. From what I can gather, having finished ME1LE and done everything bar one mission (Spacer related) , you can't hit max level in one playthrough. You fall short by a good 150k-170k. I know they said you could, but I think either they miscalculated or something needs adjusting. But no, I ended up 29/30 which was 57/60 when I started ME2. Still, its fine as you get the bonuses as if you were 60.
Hope this helps ^^
